    • If someone were to build a Linux system with proprietary ISA extensions, how would they do it given Linux is open source? Are there any examples of this being done? Would it be possible at all?

    I got inspiration from this (https://github.com/corsix/amx) and I wondered if someone has done it before on a Linux-based system. I understand a userspace library could be created to access those instructions from userspace, but how would then they be implemented in the kernel? Through a proprietary kernel module built using a custom compiler? Or is that not needed at all and the library could just run on the processor taking advantage of the proprietary extensions?
